Landlord Wallace has reached his limit with his delinquent tenant, Perry.  While Perry is away on yet another vacation, Wallace takes that opportunity to change the locks, hoping to force the issue and collect all of the back rent when Perry returns.  In Florida, this action by the landlord is:

  1. Legal provided that a 3-day notice to “pay rent or quit” has been posted, and the three days have expired
  2. Legal provided Wallace intends to give Perry the key as soon as he receives a check for the overdue rent
  3. Legal provided that a sheriff is present to witness the changing of the locks
  4. Illegal in this situation
Explanation
Answer D - According to Florida law, a landlord cannot change the locks of the home of a tenant who is delinquent on the rent. The landlord must seek legal remedy by filing proper eviction procedures with the courts.
